Welcome to the May 2015 edition of the AIT Consulting E-Newsletter. The highlights of the month focus on the activities to rebuild Nepal after the recent earthquakes, April 25 and May 12, 2015.
The country remains perilously unstable with the risk of landslides from ongoing aftershocks. Several initiatives and activities were arranged by AIT, AIT Consulting and Habitech, including visits to Nepal to assess how AIT can support the reconstructions and rehabilitation efforts.
